Struggling for ideas this month, I asked my 7-year-old daughter for suggestions about which book I should do for the challenge. She has recently begun making her way through the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney, so that was her immediate response and I decided to go with it. The series follows Greg Heffley on his daily struggles with his siblings and to fit in at school, and is written in a diary format, with cartoon-esque drawings interspersed on every page. There are currently 12 books in the series, with number 13 scheduled for release this October.
OPTION 1: Diary of You as a Kid
For the first option, scrap a page of yourself as a kid, and be sure to include journaling!
OPTION 2: Diary of a Kid
For the second option, have a kid do the journaling for your page. It’s always fun and eye-opening to see events from a child’s perspective, so hand over the pen and let a child do your journaling for you.
This month, you'll get a BONUS ENTRY if you use the cover of the books as a sketch. Each cover has the same layout, with a large title on the top, photo underneath, and the occasional word strip and/or circular element overlaying the photo. **Please note, while you can submit more than one layout for this challenge, you can only earn one bonus for the month. Thank you!**
